1967 Gibson Southern Jumbo – £4499
NEW ARRIVAL For me this is one of the most iconic looking Gibson acoustic guitars – a square shouldered dreadnought with a three point pickguard, a cherry sunburst top, and eye catching pearl split parallelogram fingerboard inlays. Also it’s unusual to see such a beautifully figured Mahogany back. This guitar has all the unmistakable characteristics of a 60’s Gibson dreadnought which makes them sound so familiar, when you start playing your mind starts racing as it sounds like so many of the great 60’s recordings – mellow, smooth, warm and rich. The bound neck makes it feel very easy to play, with a slimmer 1 9/16” (39mm) neck, and the action is set just right. The guitar is in good, all original condition, with lots of visible playwear and light scuffs and dings, but no cracks or repairs. The previous owner scratched his initials into the neck heel. The guitar comes in a non original hard case.
